FINAL CHECK

[pjwinkler]

Ok guys I'm making a mid range game computer, I'm going AGP because everything I ant is already out and the motherboards have been out longer. I feel more comfertable doing this (and ofcourse it saves me some $$)

Athlon64 3000+
MSI K8N Neo-FSR
6600 GT
Kingston 1G PC-3200
Seagate 80GB Barracuda Serial ATA
Nikao Ogre (Black)
Antec SmartBlue 350
MS Windows XP Professional Edition OEM

For 1224 CDN after tax, sound good?

(all I play is americas army and 'm about to buy UT 2004)

IM LEAVING IN A FEW MINUTES nothing wrong here?

 

[pjwinkler]

im going to buy it

Instead of the MSI K8N Neo-FSR, get the neo2 platinum. The platinum one uses the nforce3 chipset, much better.

What are we... your mother? Buy it and deal with it.

and why not a larger HD while you're at it =P

since your are only gaming, i do not see any reason for a bigger harddrive. If you planned on video editing or anything of the sort like filesharing, then I would suggest a bigger harddrive. If you plan on having more than 5-6 games than get a bigger harddrive. My harddrive seems to take longer to access after 8 games are installed. So now I uninstall most of the games that are small like RCT3 and JKII

Just get 160 gig and be done with it. neo2 is the mobo you want.

 

[iamskew]

neo2 si what you want if your getting a socket 939 cpu, you just want the regular neo platinum if you're getting a 754...second, why not just buy a cheaper case that already has a power supply..like that $80 antec sonota or whatever it is and get a bigger hard drive or something else...fancy cases don't make you game faster

other than that it looks fine, good luck with it

yeah, do NOT get the FSR chipset.

Actually the K8N Neo-FSR uses an NF3 250Gb chipset (this is straight from the MSI website), it's the K8T variant that uses the VIA. The K8N Neo FSR seems like the Platinum just without 1394 and maybe some other stuff.

You probably could do a little better with the mobo (try a Chaintech VNF3-250 or Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR? the motherboard you have right now is S754, so I'm assuming that's where you're going), but other than that it looks fine.
